Jessica Alba Spring Dress — 5 Second Fashion

New mother Jessica Alba (to daughter Honor) may live in California (where the weather is perfect for spring time clothing), but we love her beautiful, pastel ensemble none the less. Try playing up your feminine side with a fast, flirty outfit and beautiful colors…

* 1 – 2 Seconds: Start with a beautiful dress like Jessica, in a soft, ladylike color. Try choosing a fit that accentuates the waist and flows softly aroundÂ any “wider” areas (like the hips and thighs). If you have a larger bust line, are still nursing, or will be chasing after a toddler, skip the strapless look in favor of a flattering halter top instead.

* 3 – 4 Seconds: Keep this look casual and appropriate (save bare shoulders and low necklines for special occasions), by adding a loose, unstructured cardigan (which also helps toÂ conceal heavier armsÂ and waistlines). Pick a complimentary, pastel tone, but not one that matches perfectly…

* 5 Seconds:Â Choose accessories that areÂ dainty and proper (like a simple clutch or a singular piece of jewelry), andÂ add nude toned shoes to elongate the leg line. Go for something extremely comfortable (but feminine) if you’ll be running after a child throughout the day…
